However much you love Christmas, it is often an energy-sapping marathonthat leaves you feeling exhausted both inside and out! A gentle “Happy Sport & Detox” retreat nowwill help you feel and look as sparkling as the decorations on the tree!
A detox helps to balance outimbalances – weight, metabolism, thyroid function, immune system, hormones etc.
Although it is perfectly possible to do a detox byyourself at home, nothing can quite match going to a retreat where you arefully immersed with like-minded people striving towards the same goal – that ofmental & physical balance.
One of the greatest benefits of a detox retreat is therenewed sense of energy it gives you.
